Join the Comment Train!

With this post I am commenting on Doug Feaver's comments on comments (online posters) on comments (Peter Slevin and Darryl Fears article) on comments (Obama's) on comments (Rev. Wright's).

I suppose this is a communication major's dream? Or just awful journalism (yet still top link in Google News).

Join in the adventure!

Bills on Monday Night!

Cleveland's going doooooooooooooooown

Yet another example...

How is this news? This is just copying and pasting anonymous comments posted to news stories...it's not even as reliable as someone calling into a radio show.  And it's not like I'm hunting for this...this was the top link on a Google News Headline...

Stupid H&R Block

So I unsubscribed to receiving H&R Block's emails and, as many other organizations do, they told me it would take 5-7 days to process this request.  Well that's funny, when I signed up it took them a few seconds to start sending me emails.  Gee, I know deleting is such a harder function then adding, but come on now...

Second complaint: there is no easy way to just delete my account with their service.  I had signed up for their tax service, then switched to a different company, and wanted to delete my account with them.  I'm sure there is a way, but I couldn't find it in the couple minutes of checking.  It's absurd.  Especially when you're receiving sensitive data like that, you should have a very easy and straightforward way to delete everything you sent them.  But no...no retaining your customer because he can't find the "delete account" button is much more important.

Junky Punks.  That's right, I said it.

No need to be skimpy

I think the whole procedure for weighing the amount of meat to put in a sub is fundamentally misunderstood by some places.  I feel it should be a bar for how much you need to have in the sub.  It's way for me to know that you're giving me a at least a standard amount.  Anything above is a nice gift from your organization to me, and I appreciate it.  But I do not appreciate you weighing the amount of meat, realizing it's like an ounce over the "standard" and taking a juicy, amazing slice off the pile.  And doing it in front of me.  Is it really necessary?  Look, I understand that you over time giving a slice over the "limit" will cost your business a little bit of money, but right now, all I'm seeing is you taking that off the pile that is being advertised as soon to belong to me.  Originally, you thought that whole pile was about right for the sandwich...and I agreed.  Now, we're at a disagreement - I still concur with your original estimation.  You can't go back...

No one scoops some ice cream then shaves off a little bit if it's a bit too big.  Don't take the slice away.  Just let her ride...it's going to be ok...you won't be fired and I will be happy.
